(Oswald was identified as the gunman at the scene by at least six eyewitnesses.) "It is a shame that a man as talented as Stone has had to go to such lengths to deceive the American public," says Belin...

Two weeks ago, a suspected car thief pointed a 9-mm pistol at Rhodes' partner in the squad car, who then fired a shot at the gunman, forcing him to drop his weapon.
